In the early morning, the Shahe Reservoir was particularly cold, I wrapped my head in a scarf, only exposed my eyes, and my hands were curled up in the gloves.
I met two or three people working in the reservoir, they were carrying a pump to water the surrounding grass, no matter what the weather, they came to work every day, every time they met them, they all knew my dogs, and they called Xiao Hei's name from afar.
When the black dogs were feeding, they met the man who came to walk every day, he wrapped his head like a dumpling, and told me that it was too cold today.
Wild ducks do not seem to be afraid of the cold, and there are always some wild ducks staying on the shore, and when they see someone coming, they hurriedly slide towards the center of the lake.
Because the weather was too cold, I couldn't walk slowly and methodically as usual, so I led the dogs all the way and quickly returned home.
Today's property is closed, it is the day to go home to see my parents, cook for the dogs and rabbits, I have a simple breakfast by myself, and I am ready to go.
Today is the day of the online creditors' meeting of Caesars Tourism's bankruptcy reorganization and liquidation, and I received a notice a few days in advance, starting at half past nine, I set off at nine o'clock, and set my mobile phone to the state of holding an online conference, so that I can listen to it at the end of the day.
There was not much traffic jam on the road, and when I arrived at the Xinzhuang Bridge and waited for the red light, the meeting began. It was opened by a court in Sanya, Hainan, and to be honest, I didn't understand what they said, and I, like most team leaders, only hoped that the 20,000 yuan deposit and the money advanced would be returned smoothly.
Listening to the meeting along the way, my mind couldn't help but go back to the time when I joined Caesar, at that time, the Japanese inbound group was getting worse and worse, at the beginning we went to Haitao to bring the outbound group, but Haitao's business was too poor, with tens of thousands of dollars to attract a lot of old men and old ladies with a little savings in their hands, let them sign up for the outbound group in the way of savings, and the group must pay a tip, I took more Korean groups, the plane was basically a charter flight, arrived in South Korea in the middle of the night, and the hotel was also very poor, and I had to go to cosmetics stores and duty-free shops to shop during the sightseeing. In addition to South Korea, I have also led groups to Australia, New Zealand, Cambodia and other countries, foreign travel agencies and local tour guides call Haitao Travel Agency the black sheep of the tourism industry, and think that this way of doing business will cause big problems sooner or later.
The days when I led the group in Haitao were probably the darkest period of my life, and I was worried that the guests would complain if they were not satisfied.
Later, I submitted my resume to Caesar on the Internet, at that time Caesar was working in the Ocean World on the west side of Hujia Building, when I went to the interview, I felt that the building was very beautiful, and the interviewer was also very kind, my interview went smoothly, and I was soon hired. I remember that when I went through the entry procedures, I did it with Yingzi from Fangshan, and later we became good friends, the first group was the ab group with Hao Ping, which was to a country in Southeast Asia, and until now Hao Ping and I will often keep in touch.
Maybe the unbearable experience of leading a group in Haitao has greatly honed my patience and will, in the years when Caesar led the group, I feel that life is full of sunshine, Caesar's group is basically a high-end group, not only live well, eat well, even the ground tour guide is the best in the local area. As soon as it was Caesar's group, everyone gave a thumbs up, and the quality of the guests was high, the level of the tour guide was high, and the level of reception was also high.
Caesar has a lot of European team leaders, referred to as European leaders, they are really very capable, most of them lead the group without a local tour guide, the whole process is alone, not to mention English, some local languages will also be, and some are gold medal leaders.
Caesar has many cruise ship groups, almost the entire cruise ship is Caesar's group, dozens of leaders, dozens of cars, mighty, very neat, each leader wears Caesar's special yellow clothing, known as "Minions".
I love this travel agency so much that I think if I can, I would be willing to lead tours at Caesars all the time, even if I retire, and I will rehire to give full play to my passion and experience in leading tours.
Of course, in Caesar with the group, there is also a rollover time, one year with the train group to Xinjiang, because it is a railway travel agency to negotiate, and when the departure, only to find out that it is the old facilities of the green car, that group, we suffered a lot of scolding, although we have made up for a lot, but there are still many guests to claim compensation, although as a team leader, everyone is satisfied with my personal service, but this lesson is unforgettable.
At the end of 2019, the epidemic suddenly hit, all the tours were canceled, and the travel agency was in a predicament all of a sudden, coupled with the fact that Caesars was acquired by HNA, and because HNA expanded too fast, the capital turnover could not be opened, Caesars, a large travel agency, suddenly faced today's bankruptcy liquidation, and our deposit must be returned in this way.
Remembering along the way, I feel like I'm lucky that at least I worked at Caesar for a few years, and I retired shortly after the pandemic.
When I arrived at my parents' house, I insisted on finishing the online meeting, and by the time it was over, it was almost over.
My dad made dumplings with me, filled with cabbage and pork, and they tasted very good.
At two o'clock, I drove home and took a lot of things from my parents' house.
After arriving home, I took the dogs to the reservoir to play around, and the Shahe Reservoir in the afternoon was sunny, no wind, and very warm, which was different from the weather safety in the morning.
After returning home, I turned over another piece of land, drove to pick up my nephew from school at 4:20, and my sister volunteered in the kindergarten, and came out at 5 o'clock.
Mr. Zhang drove back from Shanxi today, and set off after dinner, poor Mr. Zhang drove all day during the day and drove back overnight, this work was too hard.
